Mixing powerful songs and a video background of beautiful
projected images, Jim Scott’s lyrical melodies and outspoken
poetry take his audience from grieving to celebration, and from
protest to positive vision for the planet. As well as hard reality,
the program’s message is one of optimism with many invitations
to join in the singing.
Prolific composer and guitarist, Jim has played
at more than 700 UU churches over four decades of
travels, and his songs are in the UU hymnbooks
(“Gather the Spirit”). Formerly a member of the
Paul Winter Consort, Jim was the composer of their
celebrated “Missa Gaia/Earth Mass” and sang their
anthem song “Common Ground.”
One of the originators of the UU Green Sanctuary program, Jim
also compiled the “Earth and Spirit Songbook”, an anthology of 110
songs of Earth by many contemporary composers. He has toured
the world, recorded nine CDs of original music and published a
growing line of choral works. He was awarded an NEA grant to
develop and present his multimedia concert “The Year to Save the
Earth” in Worcester, MA with band and chorus. He’s taking it on
the road across the US.
Tickets at the door will be $20. Additional donations may also
be given for the CVUU New Home Fund. Check out Jim’s music
